RECAP

Three big plays doomed the Hawkeyes in what could have been a close game. The Boilermakers scored on a 63 yard touchdown run, a 90 yard interception return, and a record 47 yard field goal. The Hawkeyes actually led the game until that record field goal right before half.

Iowa's John Muller and Purdue's Gary Hrivnak were thrown out of the game for fighting late in the fourth quarter.

COACH GAME QUOTES

Ray Nagel It was a real slugfest, but in the final analysis I guess you'd just have to say the better team won.
-- Ray Nagel

Ray Nagel That game was a lot tighter than 24-3, you take away that 90-yard interception and we were still in it till the last.
-- Ray Nagel
